...ticket counter, they have to lug their bags up an escalator. The three gate concourses are connected by a train system that is fast and convenient--except when it's not working (which lately has not been very often and usually for only short periods). Unlike the terminals at Atlanta's Hartsfield, which has a similar layout, Denver's are so far apart--to give the planes more space to taxi--that passengers cannot walk between terminals even if they want to. This means that in the event of a major breakdown (like the seven-hour interruption...

...University of Bologna's Infertility and IVF Center leads the world with an impressive 27 frozen-egg babies. But with more than 600 women each year undergoing the egg-freezing procedure there, the center's past success rates have been as low as 1%.

I flew from New York City to L.A. over and over to answer questions. I flew to Atlanta to show the committee members my High Museum of Art and to Frankfurt, Germany, to take them through my Museum of Decorative Art. Then I did it again with new people. When, toward the end of this ordeal, I was awarded the prestigious Pritzker Prize, all I could think was, I hope this helps...
Bethune delights in speaking his mind almost as much as he likes climbing into a cockpit. He says competitors trying to cut costs last September were "stupid" to take off magazines and meals in coach, a direct dig at Dallas-based American Airlines. He ridicules "an Atlanta-based carrier"--a reference to Delta Air Lines--for cutting back its sales teams that cater to major clients, to save money after 9/11.
